3 Reasons For

Bosch Fridges Have Excellent Reviews

Bosch is one of the leading refrigerator manufacturers according to average reviews from owners and experts, and Bosch also has excellent ratings for its Built-in fridges.

Running Costs Are Very Low

This Built-in fridge is rated A+++ for energy efficiency. The KIR21AD40 is one of the most economic to run fridges of a similar age and spec that we have looked at for running costs. Based on average usage levels and energy prices, we estimate the KIR21AD40 will cost £153 over 24 years to run.

Quite Quiet Noise Level

The noise levels of refrigerators of this age and spec range from 33dB to 44dB, and the average noise level is 37dB. At only 33 decibels, the KIR21AD40 has a very quiet noise level compared to most of the other Built-in fridges that are a similar age to the KIR21AD40.

Alternative 33dB noise level refrigerators currently available which you might also want to look at include cheaper fridges such as the Bosch KIR41AF30[plb_1664398_price].

If you don't mind having a louder noise level then you might also want to look at the Bosch KIR41AD30[plb_2391345_price] (33dB), or the Liebherr IK 1910[plb_1658546_price] (33dB).

ChartEdit

Quite Small Net Capacity

At only 144 liters, the KIR21AD40 has a quite small net capacity compared to most of the other Built-in fridges that were released around the same time as the KIR21AD40. The smallest net capacity of Built-in fridges that have been on the market for a similar time to the KIR21AD40 is 30L, the biggest is 460L, and the average net capacity is 190L.

We compared all the other 144L net capacity refrigerators to this refrigerator and we think cheaper fridges such as the Bosch KIR21AF30[plb_1665962_price], and the Siemens KI21RAF30[plb_1738044_price] is also worth considering.

Fridges with a bigger net capacity that might be worth considering include the Siemens KI21RAD30[plb_2630320_price] (145L and cheaper).
